Abstract
Background
Integrating mixed reality (MR) into nursing simulation education, particularly for procedural training such as endotracheal intubation, offers a promising avenue to the repetitive training of practical execution and collaboration. This study aimed to develop an MR-based intubation nursing (MRIN) simulation tailored for nursing professionals and focused on usability.
Methods
This study used a mixed methods design. The MRIN scenario with eight steps was developed using HoloLens 2 and evaluated by 12 nursing master’s students experienced in intubation. After two simulation sessions, quantitative data for the simulation task load index (SIM-TLX) and task completion time were evaluated, while qualitative data were gathered through think aloud (TA) interviews.
Results
The subtotal task load of the SIM-TLX decreased from 4.25/10 ± 2.21 in the first simulation to 3.08/10 ± 1.37 in the second simulation, with reduced task completion time. TA interviews highlighted the need for modifications to enhance realism, procedural accuracy, and the program’s strengths.
Conclusion
The MRIN simulation represents an advancement in MR technology for nursing education, offering an immersive and effective platform for procedural training.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
